Supporting Hudson Valley's Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
The goal of the Hudson Valley Small Business Fund is to provide competitive returns for our investors. We also support local businesses in growing their revenues, resulting in a favorable outcome for both. Utilizing a revenue-based investment model, the Hudson Valley Small Business Fund offers the following benefits over traditional investment models:
- Shorter wait time for investor returns, with principal returned in the early years
- Competitive IRR
- Sale of portfolio company not required for returns
- Delivery of consistent portfolio returns from each company
- Investment in fewer companies to yield average returns
- Ability to reinvest principal to yield higher IRR
The Hudson Valley Small Business Fund is designed to work in conjunction with Accelerate HV, a 5 year program that includes a 1 year intensive jumpstart for development and growth.
